 The Abertawe Festival for Young Musicians exists to improve and widen music education, and to provide performance opportunities and support in general for young musicians across the region.  It is run by an honorary committee supported by a host of volunteer stewards.

AFYM, held in late January, is an annual event comprising competitive and non-competitive classes in Piano, Strings, Woodwind and Ensemble sections.  The Primary Schools Day includes schools ensembles and recorder solo, duet and group classes.  There are classes for all ages and all abilities, and informal workshops are held throughout six days of performance in three glorious venues at the Guildhall.

The AFYM Concert is held in March each year, and comprises performances from the festival itself.
